Peridot (Natural) A Grade Irregular Chip Gemstone Beads

Description Peridot, a gem-quality olivine, is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure. Peridot is the August birthstone and is said to bring the wearer power and influence. The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea island of Zabargad, the source for many large fine peridots in the world’s museums. The Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun.” Today this gem is still prized for its restful yellowish green hues and long history. -Material: Peridot -Treatment: Natural -Shape: Chips -Grade: A -Strand Length: 36 inches -Sizes: 4-10mm (0.9mm hole) Use our beautiful, healing stone beads to create jewelry in order for you to bring crystals and their magical energy with you everywhere you go!
